The Payout: The plan guaranteed him 75% of his agreed salary 54K pound

​The Duration: It guaranteed this income until he reached the retirement age of 65.

​The Terms: He remained an employee on the books with "no obligation to work," effectively securing more than 1.5M pound over the course of the plan.

Inflation was rapidly eroding its value. He claimed that failing to provide regular cost-of-living pay raises constituted unfair treatment compared to active, non-disabled employees who received salary reviews.

    That is the ultimate Cantonese phrase for this situation! "好心好累,講完就明" (Ho sam ho lui, gong jyun zau ming) perfectly translates to: "A good heart is just so tiring, but once it's said out loud, it's clear."[Gosh]

      In today's society, kindness is sometimes mistaken for obligation, and what starts as goodwill can quickly become an entitlement in the eyes of others.

      The norm today is retrenchment,  relocation, or being placed on a PIP if you're no longer considered a good fit for the job.
